Yes, I've also had nothing but superb customer service experiences with SD.
When I first became a customer I placed an order for a wired SB1, because
the web site stated that orders placed before a certain time usually shipped
the same day.  I had it figured out that I wanted the unit before the
weekend, for a party I was throwing.  I forget the exact day I ordered it,
but I chose a shipping method which would ensure I'd get it in time.
Anyway, turns out they only had the wireless units ready to ship.  I found
this out when my order wasn't shipped.  I e-mailed them and explained my
situation, said I was disappointed, and asked them to upgrade my shipping so
that it would arrive before the weekend.  They did so, but they only charged
me the original shipping price.

When they came out with the improved graphic display for the SB1, they
*could* have just made existing SB1 owners buy an entirely new unit if they
wanted the new display.  I suspect most companies would have gone this
route.  Instead they allowed existing owners to order just the display at a
very reasonable price, and gave simple instructions to perform the upgrade
at home.  IIRC they also offered to let you send in your SB1 and have them
perform the upgrade.

And let's not forget the fact that they *still* support and even improve all
of their legacy products, dating back to the Slimp3.  That is pretty much
unheard of.

And more recently, the free overnight shipping of my (and everyone else's)
Duet was a welcome surprise.  But I shouldn't say surprise, because based on
my own experiences and the stories I have heard on here, I have come to
expect superior customer service.

I understand that you are frustrated, but venting like this in the public
forum isn't going to solve your problem.
